HNT GORDON A55 Smoothing plane - She Oak
HNT Gordon A55 Smoothing Plane (Tool Steel blade) in She Oak.
BUY IT NOW $275 (or bid, of course).
Postage at cost.
I purchased this about 18 months ago (some sacrifices have to be made in pursuit of a thicky/jointer which is more urgent than this).
It's not quite as orange as it appears in the pics (dunno why, but every time I photograph She Oak it's always a bit more orange).
New price from HNT is $350 (+$20 on list price for the specialty She Oak timber).
Also, see here - a High Speed Steel blade (HNTG) to suit this plane - buy it now for $70 if you buy this plane.)

You can see some marks on the sole. They are more like stains - seemed to come from some resinous wood, and left its mark.

Marks at the heel, and marks at the toe (sorry about the OOF - musta had the camera too close, or wrong mode)
